Chapter 1: What a ball!
This was it, the leaver's ball. I would never again have to go back to school. Everyone had been stood waiting to get on the coach, having photos taken of them looking smart. Pretty dresses and black tuxes filled in parking lot. I was wearing a black silk dress. I thought about red but didn't really want to be saying hey look at me I'm a slut. As the dress was figure hugging with a low v-neck and shoulder straps. There were diamante jewels in the centre of the neck line taking attention away from the cleavage….slightly, and although the dress as only just below knee length there were shapely ruffles from the breastline down at the front to ornament the otherwise simple design. I had plain black strappy shoes and my hair was half held up and half down in loose curls tumbling from my head and face, across my shoulders, down my back to my waist. (AN: this was based on want I wore to my ball. Hehe little miss bookworm turned up with cleavage. The day boys realised what they missed when they insulted me for five years. Oh yeah!)
The coach ride was a snore and by the time we reached the ballroom the boys had already lost the bowties and untucked the shirts. And the girls rushed to the bathroom to fix their hair and make-up.
I had never had many friends it had been a rocky road. Beth now hated me for a rumour I didn't start. And insulted me with her new friends at any opportunity. Elly couldn't come because of money troubles. But the boys were there. My friends Richard (who came as the monopoly man), Matt and Marshall. And Jenny of course. The food was bad and the music was useless. But when they announced the last dance for the class of 2005….we all danced. I was slow dancing with Matt during that last dance. And although it wasn't romantic, it was special. I could see all my friends around me dancing. As the last chorus hit glitter and confetti fell from the ceiling and it looked like it was raining tiny shards of glass. I could see my class mates around me and tears sprung to my eyes. As much as I had hated school…I would miss it.
Then I was brought sharply back to reality when a crash sounded over the other side of the room. Screams were heard and the horrible sound of ripping flesh. One of my classmates. A girl in my biology class had fallen limply to the ground, a hole through her stomach and standing above her……a very human looking monster. Save the blue skin of course. (think Zarbon only less handsome….well pre-transform into lizard like thing anyway)
I suddenly felt sick. I thought this was over……..I thought it was all over. "No….more fighting please……." I whispered sadly to myself. Matt looked down at me confused. Images filled my mind mostly of lilac hair and blue eyes. I felt like my heart was breaking all over again. Then as more screams were heard I was snapped out of my daze. I was the only one who could fight this thing. Stop it from killing everyone in this room…. I got up onto the stage.
"HEY!" I yelled above the screams. Every pair of eyes in the room fell onto me. "Can I help you or are you just crashing this party for no reason?"
"Hand over the dragonballs or everyone is dead meat." He hissed thrusting his hand through another student. I winced and tried desperately not to think about it. If I broke down then I would lose this fight.
"Well how about if I can't kill you I'll tell you where to find them." I said.
"What if I kill you?" he snarled.
"You won't." I replied. I leapt off of the stage and ran at him. I jumped foot first into his chest. He was thrown back a little but had a wound in his chest. "Never underestimate a girl in high heels!" I threw punches, but they were blocked. He was fast for someone so bulky and I was seriously out of practise. As a last resort I leapt back a little and shot a ki blast. He was thrown back against the wall and blood splattered across me and anyone else standing close. He stood shakily a hole gracing his chest.
"Who are you?" he hissed.
"I'm nobody." I said, kicking him in the head. "I'm just here to save the world." This was nothing like the fight I had faced a year ago. There was no transforming into a angel and magically sealing the enemy into cyberspace. I had his blood on my hands, clothes and face. I had blown a hole in his flesh surrounded by burns. This was ultimately more real. I punched with all my strength and my fist met raw open flesh as a punched to the heart. As I withdrew my now blood smothered hand my enemy sank to the ground quivering until he lie cold and still.
I wanted to look away from the blood. But at the same time I didn't want to turn around and face the inevitable questions. Instead I closed my eyes counted to ten and then ran. I ran from the building and to the outside in the gardens. I washed myself free of blood and kept running towards the town.
I found a phone box and soon I was in the car with my mom driving home. What a mess…….four students died…..there's a new enemy threatening MY world and to top it off………I revealed my powers in front of the entire class of 2005 plus teachers! It was a good job I wasn't going back to school…….because I would be soooo kicked out.
